Eugene V. Gallagher, Rosemary Park Professor of Religious Studies at Connecti¬cut College, writes: 'In a context where the general value of the Humani¬ties has increasingly come under question by those who see a college educa¬tion as necessarily being directly tied to the first job that students will have af¬ter they graduate, an ability to make a vigorous case about the contribution of study¬ing the Bible to any college student's education is crucial for any teacher'. This second collection of essays edited by Jane Webster and Glenn Hol¬land seeks not only to promote the role of biblical studies in an un¬dergraduate lib¬eral arts education, but also to suggest strategies and approaches for teaching the Bible in a range of academic situa-tions. Combining the theoretical and the practi¬cal, this volume will be another useful source of guidance and support for teachers of bibli¬cal studies at any point in their professional careers.
